Jaipur, May 19 Rajasthan is rapidly emerging as India’s next major semiconducto and electronics manufacturing destination, with the Bharatiya Janata Party-led state government on Tuesday unveiling ambitious plans to transform the state int a high-technology hub.

This month, India’s semiconductor push gathered momentum with Tata Electronics’ pact with Dutch major ASML and two new projects, a mini/micro-LED display fabrication unit in Dholera and an OSAT packaging facility in Surat.

Almost four decades ago, India began semiconductor manufacturing – even before the world’s biggest chipmaker, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company which has now become a $50 billion company. Had that early effort succeeded, India could have been at the forefront of today’s AI-driven technological revolution. But a mysterious fire and years of policy

Tata Electronics has signed a significant agreement with Dutch technology leader ASML, marking a crucial step in India’s efforts to build a domestic semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. While the deal focuses on enabling 300mm wafer production in India, its broader implications could be far more transformative for the country’s silicon chip ambitions.

Ahead of India’s first semiconductor fabrication plant coming online later this year, serious concerns have been raised by tech experts as China rapidly expands production capacity of mature-node chips — the very segment New Delhi is betting on to build a domestic semiconductor ecosystem, with the new entrant

He was speaking at an event here on Sunday to launch the golden jubilee celebration of MASc which functions under the state government’s auspices. Jointly organised with the Institution of Engineers India on the occasion of National Technology Day, the event also saw the unveiling of a commemorative logo and launch of the academy’s redesigned digital portal.
